I am pretty sure if there is a MD movie, Kawamori would make Mirage to be one of the Walkyries too.
Motto: "Music is nonsense!"
Thus far, most if not all Macross movies are a retelling of the original stories. DYRL, M+, MF... But it can be very different presentation. It may actually work to condense into fours hours, focus on the several main characters and introduce new combat scenes.

I've voted neutral.
It's just bland to me. I agree with another member on the board that it is like the episode is created following a checklist. You've got the ingredients, but you don't have the chemicals.
And the Grace plot v2.0 is just lazy story writing. Ruling over them is sufficient; why the network part?
Edit: And Roid looks like a male Grace to me too. The glasses, the face, the hair.

It holds okay in fighter mode, but it doesn't in battroid mode. The neck, the legs and the arms are all floppy. The elbow joints do not hold, and I had trouble in posing it with a gun-pointing pose because the shoulders are so loose. When I work on it often the backbone (VF-1's have that) would collapse.
I am not sure if I have had a particularly bad unit, but that's what I've got.
I hate to give such bad comments, I seldomly do, especially I can see that they are doing it as a fan of the show. But it doesn't turn out well.
P.S. The nail polish way may or may not work. I don't have it on my hands now (at office...), but I remember I couldn't figure out how to unscrew certain parts.

I've got mine. I've asked friends to considering forfeit their deposit...
I can see that the 3P gave many thoughts to the design, but the production is that bad. My VF-1S is a floppy mess.
It looks okay on the shelf, but it collapses upon contact.

I hope it would not walk the path of VF100, Robot Spirit and Hi-Metal Original. Spartan hell yeah! I would buy multiple of every grunt. Destroids, regults, enemy battle suits. Kidneys and liver for sale! PM me.
